Snowy Sunday

From Life In England

We woke up this morning to a mini snow storm. The fact that it has been sunny and somewhat warm all week (from the Florida sunshine we brought with us) made the April snow even more surprising. It snowed for a good 30 minutes, but it pretty much melted when it hit the ground. There were some sea gulls flying around in the flurry, almost flying in place because it was so windy. Four hours later, it's sunny again, the snow a mere footnote.

K has started going to MKG now, too. Mainly for kickboxing. We went together on Thursday and Saturday. Though she is a sporty gal, she was a bit taken aback by the workout. I guess taking kicks from people (on Thai pads) and throwing kicks is a lot different than running or doing yoga. She really enjoyed it though, despite a few bruises. We are going to continue with it and I am going to increase the number of classes that I go to.

Another new practice is to make a "complicated" dinner on the weekends. This came about because of K's newfound freedom from the PhD (she has handed her first fully completed draft to her supervisors). This weekend we made braised lamb shanks and chocolate almond cakes with chocolate sauce. Very tasty.

PS - The Heathrow Terminal 5 debacle is still ongoing! At one point, they were sending the luggage backlog to Italy for sorting. As of yesterday, there were still 9,000 bags to be sorted and returned.
